Partial Tube #36

Hi furti. First of all, thank you very much for putting in the time and effort to create and maintain this workbench. It is extremely useful! I am using FreeCAD version 0.18.4. This is not an issue, but a feature suggestion. One possible feature of interest would be to add an option to arrange the Lithophane as a partial tube. This way, the final product can stand on its own like the full tube, but the entire picture can be seen from one viewing angle.

Thanks for this feature request. I had this in mind for some time now. Currently my free Time is a bit limited. So it might take a while until this feature is available.

Understood. Free time always seems limited for me too nowadays. Again, thank you for your hard work on this project. I finished my first test image with Lithophanes yesterday on my Ender 3, and I was very happy with the result.
